GHSA-v92f-jx6p-73rx
CRITICALImproper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') in jai-ext
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
Blast Radius
it.geosolutions.jaiext.jiffle:jt-jiffle☕it.geosolutions.jaiext.jiffle:jt-jiffle-languageReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Maven packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Impact
Programs using jt-jiffle, and allowing Jiffle script to be provided via network request, are susceptible to a Remote Code Execution as the Jiffle script is compiled into Java code via Janino, and executed. In particular, this affects the downstream GeoServer project.
Patches
Version 1.2.22 will contain a patch that disables the ability to inject malicious code into the resulting script.
Workarounds
Negate the ability to compile Jiffle scripts from the final application, by removing janino-x.y.z.jar from the classpath.
References
None.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for it.geosolutions.jaiext.jiffle:jt-jiffle. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update it.geosolutions.jaiext.jiffle:jt-jiffle to 1.1.22 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-v92f-jx6p-73rx is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-v92f-jx6p-73rx is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-v92f-jx6p-73rx. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-v92f-jx6p-73rx in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-v92f-jx6p-73rx across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
